以细角滨对虾Litopenaeus stylirostris为实验对象,按时间顺序观察了胚胎各期的形态特征。通过解剖从无节幼体到仔虾第1天各期幼体的附肢,对其发育形态及其刚毛着生方式进行了描述和统计。比较研究了细角滨对虾和凡纳滨对虾L.vannamei无节幼体期形态差异以及色素的变化、溞状幼体期眼上棘形态的差异以及大颚齿数目。结果表明,无节幼体期细角滨对虾的色素明显多于凡纳滨对虾;两者溞状幼体期眼上棘的形态存在明显差异;两者在无节幼体至仔虾第1天各期大颚活动齿的数目变化一致。     

长江下游刀鲚(Coilia nasus)仔稚鱼的时空分布

刀鲚(Coilia nasus)是长江下游重要的经济鱼类之一,具有溯河洄游型和淡水定居型两种生态类型本研究于2016年5 8月在刀鲚繁殖高峰期内同时对长江下游湖口、安庆和靖江江段进行刀鲚早期资源调查,研究分析对比了长江下游江段刀鲚仔稚鱼的丰度情况、时空格局及其与主要环境因子的关系结果表明:在调查期间,靖江江段刀鲚仔稚鱼平均密度最高;刀鲚仔稚鱼在调查各江段于6月下旬至7月上旬之间均出现一段较短时间的高峰期,这与刀鲚的产卵类型有关;湖口刀鲚仔稚鱼的爆发时间早于安庆和靖江江段,这种现象可能是由于湖口江段存在的定居型刀鲚产卵造成的;推测长江江水倒灌的特殊环境现象刺激了刀鲚性腺的发育,使得湖口江段8月产卵群体较多;各江段断面空间上的刀鲚仔稚鱼密度差异可能是沿岸地形和水体动力学差异所产生的现象;各江段刀鲚仔稚鱼密度最高峰时的水流量均处于较低水平,水温分别为25.87、25.27和21.67℃,均达到了刀鲚产卵所需条件研究结果初步反映了长江下游刀鲚仔稚鱼的时空特征,为长江下游刀鲚资源的保护提供了参考依据.     

黄条鰤(Seriola aureovittata)MyHC基因克隆及其在早期发育阶段表达研究

为解析肌球蛋白重链(MyHC)基因在黄条鰤(Seriola aureovittata)生长发育过程中作用机制,本研究采用RACE技术,克隆了黄条鰤MyHC基因全长cDNA序列,采用荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)方法对MyHC在黄条鰤不同组织、胚胎发育过程以及仔稚幼鱼发育过程中的表达特征进行了研究。结果表明:黄条鰤MyHC基因全长为6143bp,开放阅读框为5811bp,编码了1936个氨基酸,由3个保守结构域组成即MYSc-classⅡ、Myosin taill和SH3;系统进化树分析显示黄条鰤MyHC与高体鰤进化关系最近。qRT-PCR分析发现黄条鰤MyHC在各组织中均有表达,但在肌肉中表达量最高(P<0.05);随着黄条鰤胚胎发育的进行,MyHC在16细胞期之前表达量较高,在胚体下包2/3时期表达量显著升高,且在孵化期达到峰值(P<0.05:);在仔稚幼鱼发育阶段,MyHC在孵化后20d后表达量显著升高,30d表达水平达到峰值(P<0.05),随后的35d到40d表达水平略有下降但仍保持较高表达趋势,黄条鰤MyHC表达具有发育阶段表达的特异性。MyHC表达特征揭...     

Laboratory observation on spawning,fecundity and larval development of amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri Tsingtaunese)

Although amphioxus is widespread in temperate and tropical seas, its population is diminishing because of environmental pollution. To keep the population of this evolutionarily important animal from diminishing, study on its reproduction and development is necessary. The main findings in this study on the spawning and fecundity of the amphioxus reared in laboratory and its larval development are as follows. 1. Water temperature markedly affected the spawning. It spawned only when water temperature reached 21°C. 2. Spawning of the amphioxus in laboratory was markedly extended. Initially, the amphioxus spawned at about 7:00 PM, but spawning time was postponed as spawning days went on. 3. The number of eggs produced by a female ranged from 1400 to 12800, average of 5800. This also represents the fecundity of the amphioxus because it shedded all eggs within the ovary at a time. 4. During the first few months of life of the amphioxus, its growth rate changed seasonally. The growth rate in summer and fall was greater than that in winter. 5. The pelagic larva became a benthic adult after 50 days. 6. The amphioxus reared in laboratory from fertilized eggs could produce fertile eggs and sperms. These findings can be a foundation for measures to address the problem of diminishing amphioxus population.

Developmental Dynamics of the Larval Muscle System of Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians)

Though the larval development of bivalves has been extensively studied for commercial purposes,the dynamic development of larval muscle system remains largely unknown.In this study,we characterized the larval muscle system at different developmental stages(D-shaped veligers,umbo veligers and spats)in the bay scallop(Argopecten irradians)by phalloidin staining and under a confocal microscopy.The functional muscles are initially established at the early stage of veligers,which have four pairs of velar retractors and one anterior adductor.At the veliger stage,the velum and posterior retractor muscles are functionally important for velar contractility but undergo an irreversible shrink until they disappear at the end of the larval stage.During metamorphosis,three crucial modifications take place in the larval muscle system.The metamorphosis process involves the gradual degeneration of velum retractors,mantle margin development from an unfolded to a three-fold state,and remodeling of the adductor muscle system from dimyarian(two adductors)to monomyarian condition(one adductor)as in juveniles/adults.All retractor muscles are composed of striated muscle,but both anterior and posterior adductors have smooth and striated components.These findings highlight that the morphological changes at different stages are typical features of myogenesis in scallops.The present knowledge on the developmental dynamics of myogenesis in the bay scallop will not only improve our understanding of phenotypic diversity of larval myoanatomy in bivalves,but also provide useful information on the larval culture in hatcheries.     

Channel avulsion and river metamorphosis: The case of the Thomson River,Victoria, Australia

Channel avulsion occurred on the Thomson River in Victoria, Australia, in 1952 along a 12 km length of the valley. A comparison of the old and new channels reveals considerable differences in channel characteristics. The old channel was perched above the floodplain on an alluvial ridge such that when bankfull capacity was exceeded, floodwaters concentrated on the lowest part of the floodplain some distance away. This is where the new channel formed. It is an incised channel with larger capacity and longer meander wavelength than the old channel and is also shorter and steeper. The new channel is subject to larger floodflows and a more variable flood regime than the old course because of the differences in the channel/floodplain relationship and channel capacity. The resulting concentration of stream power along the new course is responsible for the contrast in channel characteristics and for the more rapid meander migration. This example shows that river metamorphosis can occur without major environmental changes. Measures of channel geometry such as gradient, sinuosity, and meander wavelength therefore cannot be used in palaeohydrological work to infer climatic or other environmental changes without independent supporting evidence. Differences in channel geometry can arise simply from changes in the relationship between the channel and its loodplain.     

缅甸中部抹谷早白垩世构造岩浆作用及对特提斯演化的启示

本文系统报道了缅甸抹谷变质带中部Yinmabin花岗闪长岩体及其基性岩墙的主量元素、微量元素及锆石U-Pb年龄和Lu-Hf同位素组成,重点讨论了花岗闪长岩和基性岩墙的岩石成因、物质来源及其地质意义。抹谷Yinmabin花岗闪长岩体主量元素显示富钠(N2O/K2O=1.5~1.75)、准铝(ACNK=0.94~0.97)和钙碱性岩石系列的地球化学特征。样品富集轻稀土(LREE)元素、大离子亲石元素(LILE),相对亏损高场强元素(HFSE)。岩体的主、微量元素地球化学特征均显示其具有活动陆缘I型花岗岩的地球化学属性。抹谷Yinmabin花岗闪长岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为131~135 Ma,其εHf(t)值在-15.66~-2.99之间,平均值为-8.77,单阶段模式年龄(tDM)为795~1569 Ma;而后期侵位的辉绿岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为120~118 Ma,其εHf(t)值在-13.72~+5.82之间,平均值为-2.72,单阶段模式年龄(tDM)为570~1341 Ma,表明这些岩石可能主要来源于古老下地壳部分熔融但同时也受到地幔物质的加入混染。与滇西以及北拉萨岩浆带的Lu-Hf同位素特征十分相近,暗示抹谷-毛淡棉地块早白垩世岩浆岩带与波密-察隅-高黎贡-拉萨岩浆岩带形成环境相似,可能是腾冲岩浆岩带向南延伸的一部分。结合岩石成因、源区性质和区域构造演化,认为抹谷花岗闪长岩体及基性岩墙的形成与中特提斯洋板块的俯冲作用密切相关,同时俯冲-碰撞转换的时限应该在120 Ma左右。这对于研究抹谷地体在中生代期间中特提斯洋俯冲碰撞过程具有重要的地质意义。
